Question MPG/Gallons used off on computer
It appears my gallons used on my computer is always off which is exaggerating my mpg. If the computer says I used 15 gallons, I am usually able to put in 17ish. Does anyone else have this issue?

It seems like the average discrepancy is about 2 MPG and 2 gallons. I'm consistently between 1-2 MPG and about 2 gallons lower than the computer

It's also not a new thing, nor an F-150 thing. Filled my 2010 Fusion Hybrid yesterday. Computer says 30.9mpg. Calc by hand says 3.09 mpg.

Maybe the computer put the "." In the wrong place? I'm sure you didn't!!

But at least your gallons used isn't wrong!
